About this Event

CEO Works is a peer-to-peer private group wherein advice always comes from like-minded people solving real problems and with experience in similar situations. This group provides you the space to get solid advice from your community peers, make connections, and learn from the best. CEO Works events typically start and end with approximately 15-20 minutes of networking and include either a presentation or discussion in between.

Presentation Description

The Core Issue: For organizations to survive, they need to prioritize. However, to thrive, they must activate those priorities and communicate them effectively so teams can synchronize their work. Those teams, in turn, must be composed of individual contributors and front-line managers who treat prioritization as more than a personal productivity or time management hack.

The challenge: Prioritization is a deceptively tricky topic that lurks behind the scenes yet informs everything. It’s a fundamental skill, but we are never taught how to do it. It's more than just a to-do list. You can prioritize almost anything, not just goals, projects, and tasks; values, for example. Our main challenge is finding new methods to reach goals among multiple teams with conflicting priorities.

The good news: There is a repeatable process model. Some approaches are better than others, especially for organizations and teams. This conversation will help you gain a profound new level of clarity about HOW exactly go about creating better plans and making smarter decisions.

This presentation will equip you with a powerful framework for:

  • Breaking through the prioritization paralysis: Learn to cut through the noise and identify what truly matters.
  • Aligning teams around shared objectives: Foster collaboration and eliminate the frustration of conflicting priorities.
  • Making smarter decisions: learn how to strategically prioritize what you avoid, choose the easiest and most efficient path to success, identify items with the highest cost of delay
